Hi! I have a doeling that appears to be getting a bigger utter. When I got her, it was flat and you really couldn't see her teats now it is starting to pooch. Does this happen regardless? Or only if they are pregnant? She is my first goat and I am clueless. If she is pregnant it would have had...

Lucky duck! TSC actually has a chart so you can figure out what to get based on what you are doing. I love that store.

Does anyone know what gauge syringe to use when giving shots? I found some tetanus antitoxin at TSC.

Is the tetanus antitoxoid something i can get OTC?

Thanks everyone! I cleaned it. I didnt see a puncture wound but I put iodine on it then Alusheild. I spoke with our Argilife guy and he said that is good. He recommended just keeping and eye on it over the next few days to make sure it doesn't get infected. If its hot or has pus he told me to...

This might not be an emergency but it is an injury. My wether got a rusty nail stuck in his hoof. I pulled it out and he is limping a bit. I am about to get him on my milking stand so i can examine it. I am the only one at the house so it is a little difficult. Anyway, is there anything I can...

Thank you! I agree. I think it is too much. They still had some this morning. There is probably no way i could figure out the math to get it right. I am not even sure how much they weight, only that I can lift her and barely lift him lol. I originally was only feeding them in the evening and...

Hello ya'll! I have 2 goats that are just my pets. I am not sure how much pellets to give them. I have one wether and and doe. Can someone dumb it down for me please? I have a feed scoop that is on quarts. I want to make sure I dont over or under feed them. I have been giving them 3 quarts...

Oh that is a good idea. I was thinking of just getting a hay net and hanging it on the fence or their shed.

Thank you!

oh okay. I got alfalfa because that is what the lady I got them from said she was giving them because she didn't have any brush for them to eat. So should I just get a square bale of timothy hay and hang it in their shed? or just throw it outside? Does it matter if it gets rained on? I know hay...

Thank you. This is good to know. I am sure this is what is going on with my girl.

So they don't need it every day? We have a nice green backyard but they don't seem to eat much of it, that I can tell anyway. We have some ragweed that they will not touch. I have been trying to pull it. I know its bitter. I dont have a lot of brush. In my backyard. It's mostly grass..some...

Thank you so much. This is awesome! I don't think she is truly fat. But I am going to go check her out this evening.

Thank you so much for the info. The reason I thought bloat was just cause she look a little wider this morning than I remembered lol. The only things I could think of that would casue that is bloat, pregnancy, or just being chunky. I dont mind chunky. They do have access to alfalfa pellets...

Here are a couple more pics..she looks normal here..maybe she is just fat.

Hello! I am a new goat mom and I am worried about my doeling. I just might be a new mom overreacting. Does she look bloated? Or pregnant? Or just fat? She just looks a little bigger to me. her stomach has alway stuck out some. I asked the lady when I got her if she was pregnant or just fat...

Awesome thanks! The only thing the chickens will have access is water. The goats may or may not be in there with them. I wanted to make sure there were no issues if they were together.

Hello! I have a fenced area for my goats and a chicken run for my chickens(I only have 4 chickens and 2 goats). I was thinking about letting my chickens roam around the goats fenced area a couple hours a day. Just to give them some more room. Is there any reason why the chickens cannot be out...

Thank you! Not too bad for just looking at a picture.
